Little bit different here. I'm going to post the whole hand with my thoughts of what went down. Correct me in my thoughts please.

klitkat: bets $1.25 ok hit my draw here. Bet half pot.
RolliRakedde: calls $1.25
AA$iphon: folds
*** TURN *** [Tc 5c 7d] [5d]
klitkat: checks pair=boat know that pretty much now
RolliRakedde: bets $3.25
klitkat: calls $3.25 thinking I should have folded but have very slim chance of making my boat. His bet also doesn't say much here.
*** RIVER *** [Tc 5c 7d 5d] [7c]

RolliRakedde: checks

RolliRakedde: mucks hand
klitkat collected $11.95 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $12.55 | Rake $0.60
Board [Tc 5c 7d 5d 7c]
Seat 1: repes (big blind) folded before Flop
Seat 2: samooca folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 3: RolliRakedde mucked [5h Kh 4c 2c]
Seat 4: AA$iphon folded on the Flop
Seat 5: punkin_208 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 6: klitkat (small blind) showed [Qs Qc Ac 2d] and won ($11.95) with a flush, Ace high

When he bet $3.25 it set little bells off. His play in the past was hit the pot button if the hand came in for him. I took a chance.

on the flop you have to bear in mind you are out of position

betting half the pot doesn't really define anything, I would look to check raise or take the free card keeping the pot small due to the position factor

klitkat: calls $3.25 thinking I should have folded but have very slim chance of making my boat. His bet also doesn't say much here.

His bet here screams that he has a 5, the fact it is half pot means he may be wary you had a set when you bet out the flop, though will also get more money in if he does have the best hand

the trouble with calling is that if you hit your flush and bet out, it is kinda obvious and most hands are folding, full houses will probably call you, resulting in more money lost

chances are a check raise on the flop would have taken it, or you get to the turn putting no more money in and then can just dump it when the board pairs

Good that you went with your read but the way I would look at this is it was raise preflop and to have a full house they have to be calling with 10 5 or 10 7 in there hand which is quit unlikely and I call this river most of the time.
